<http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3631216/how-do-i-get-the-url-of-the-visible-tab-in-firefox-ie-chrome>
I did a lot of Googling, and get the following code. The following
code can get the url of the first tab in internet explorer. My
question is, how can I get the url of the current active tab? Thanks.

It will probably be frowned on here, but one of the easiest ways would
be to use SendKeys in combination with some Windows hackery. I have
attached some code I came up with after getting help from several of the
fine people on this list. It shows how to bring a window into focus by
just passing in an expected string. In this case, you would want to use
something like "Windows Internet Explorer" and have it search for that.
Once that's in focus, you can use the SendKeys package
(http://www.rutherfurd.net/python/sendkeys/) to send an ALT+D to select
the url and then CTRL+C to copy it. Then you can use the win32clipboard
module from PyWin32 to grab the text from the clipboard.
It's a hack, but it's kind of fun. Of course, you can't use your PC
while the script runs or you might interrupt the process and send the
keys to the wrong window.
